Sidemarker Delete during Welcome Lights

Here's how I coded the sidemarker delete for welcome lights on an '11 E90.

In the module NFRM, set WL_FRA_V to nicht_aktiv.

I successfully coded out my sidemarkers during normal driving by setting SIDEMARKER_US to nicht_aktiv in NFRM. I also changed WL_SL_2_3R from soft_einschalten to nicht_aktiv, but the sidemarkers still fade on for the welcome lights. Any thoughts? Did I do this wrong?

Edit: also, I accidentally set WL_POL_3R to nicht_aktiv initially when I confused cornering lights and sidemarkers. But doing this ended up disabling the angel eyes for some reason. I set POL back to soft_einschalten.

Can't remember the code exactly, but it was also on of those WL_ lines.

IIRC, it was short, began with WL and ended in either V or H, or both.

It's an E90 LCI (2011 328xi).

Actually, WL_POL_3R was the first thing I tried to set nicht_aktiv because I confused corner lights and sidemarkers. According to the spreadsheets, WL_POL_3R is for the cornering lights, but in my case setting it nicht_aktiv turned off my angels during welcome lights, which was weird, so I turned it back to soft_einschalten.

Really not sure why it's behaving this way.

I've read somewhere that on the LCI cars the side markers can't be shut off for the WL.

Just discovered something interesting: WL_SL_2_3R as nicht_aktiv acfually ended up turning off my tail lights instead of the sidemarkers. I've now reenabled the SL_2.

Since the sidemarker parameter on this car is SIDEMARKER_US_MIT_FRA_V, I wonder if perhaps the right WL parameter is WL_FRA_V, which is currently set to soft_einschalten. I haven't found any other descriptions of what WL_FRA_V could be, so maybe this is it. I'll give this a try soon and update if successful.

Hm, to be honest, I'm not sure what the specific light situation is in terms of # of bulbs and bulb vs LED, etc. Basically I'm looking to turn off this yellow light:

Just did and can confirm, setting WL_FRA_V to nicht_aktiv in NFRM had the desired effect of turning off sidemarkers during welcome lights Pic:

Interestingly, the sidemarkers still flash when I unlock the car, but they don't illuminate after flashing. It ultimately leaves just the angel eyes on.
